the tallest building may be the 20-storey kinta heights flat
not many tall buidlings...but hey..it's still the third largest city in malaysia in terms of land mass

so, which cities are first and second?

"the said Municipality of George Town shall on the First Day of January in the Year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and fifty seven and forever thereafter be a city and shall be called and styled the CITY OF GEORGE TOWN instead of the Municipality of George Town and shall thenceforth have all such rank, liberties, privileges and immunities as are incident to a city." - Queen Elizabeth II

Komuter extended to Ipoh, AirAsia fly to Ipoh... And very soon the airport will upgrade to be an international airport... Looking for more new highrises... long time never see any crane tower at city now...

Now only saw the 2 site which are building condo one are using crane tower... One at Jalan Kampar, another one at Bercham

i think the height restriction is not just due to the location of the airport. don't forget ipoh was a major tin mining city. there're a lot of reclaimed tin mining lands around the city...

Years ago, the government said will move the airport to other location like Batu Gajah, Langkap, Tronoh or Klebang. But may be is the financial problem and also it is just a domestic airport with very low customers.
